In New Mexico.

The veteran Missionary of New Mexico,
who is laboring among the Spanish-speak-
ing population, thus wound up his report
of last year:
"The figures tell nothing of long trips
across mountains, plains, deep canyons,
swollen streams; of broken wagons; of
preaching and visiting from house to
house; forcing your way against strong
opposition; against threats of violence and
threats of life, and in the sight of pistols,
etc. The figures tell nothing of long
nights of religious services, followed with
answering Romish bubbles and questions,
and meeting objections, sometimes into
the deep hours of the night. The writer
himself has often retired after midnight,
from these weary, Spanish battles of
words without ideas to toss and tumble
on narrow bed in the same room and
dream, perhaps, of "four-footed beasts"
and ''creeping things" and "wild beasts"
etc.
"Neither do our figures tell of an old
man who become angry because we could
not give them school and let his uned-
ucated son teach it, and how he left us,
and took him, with twenty others, and
built public road across the site he had
decided us for church building. Neither
do they tell how sixteen of our protest.

Asia.


AoS1OQ1St 66COf0ef.
The inhabitants of Korea are now be
ginning to hear the sound of the gospel Of
peace. OF the 10.5O0,O 900 people resident
IN that country, the lower classes are wor.
shippers of Buddha, while the cultured
classes profess the philosophical system
OF Confucius. There have been in the
capital since 1885 three missionaries OF
the American Presbyterian Churh and
two OF the Methodist Episcopal Church,
with their wives. The name of the lat
ter are Mr.. 81. C. Appenzeller and DR..
Scranton. Direct effort cannot vet be
made, as the public proclamation of the
gospel is yet forbidden. Both missions
have been permitted to open schools, on
the distinct understanding, however. that
they are to restrict themselves to secular
instruction. Mr.. Appenzeller's school
now numbers sixty. DR.. Scranton has
opened hospital which has provision for
fifteen male and eight female patients.
and he has no lack of attendants. The
success which attended his first surgical
operations has been in a measure incon-
venient, as the people have such faith in
his skill as actually to bring him dead
people to restore to life. Mrs. Scranton
has established home for women, which
is much in request. Under the auspices
of the Ladies' Missionary Society Miss
Rothwriler is about to 60 out to establish
girls school.

A King Deserts His Country

A King Deserts His Country.
James w. King, who was recently in
this place, engaged as bricklayer and
plasterer, has fed the country, it is said.
He leaves wife sick abed at g. w. Hew-
tits, down by Banner. King left all the
debts in Wa-Keeney which he had been
able to create; and, when it comes to
counting them all up, they amounted into
the hundreds of dollars. King was
wealthy, almost 80, at least-to hear him
tell it. That is to say, among other
things, he owned a240-acre farm in Shaw
nee county, Kansas, worth twenty-five
dollars an acre. On this, he wanted to
obtain a loan at one of our banks. He
swore he owned the land, and made out
deed for it. The banker, after this, did
not doubt that King owned that farm.
However, the banker concluded to de-
mand an abstract of the land before loan
ing money on it. This proved to be the
seed that grew the fruit of the exposure
of Kings rascality. It was ascertained
that he had no such land or any other
land in Shawnee county.
King Caught on" and left without
stopping to bid everybody goodbye.

State Forestry Strokes.

Forestry Commissioner Robb expects to
have eighty acres planted to seeds and
cuttings by the coming spring. Of late
he has planted large quantities of walnut
hickory, acorn, pawpaw, coffee-bean and
other seeds.
More than half of the trees which have
been grown the past season have been
taken up and buried. The rest will be
treated in the same manner during the
present month if the condition of the
ground will permit. Owing to the recent
severe weather, the commissioner has de-
termined not to deliver any trees until
spring.

Perished in the Blizzard.

We hear that man by the name OF
Littlefeld persisted in the blizzard in
Wichita county last week. It is not be-
ieved that he was frozen to death, but
that death~resulted from heart trouble.
He was at Leoti in the forenoon. In the
afternoon he started home, and when
within quarter of mile of his shanty,
which is fifteen miles west of town, he
died. He had a wife. We are not in
formed as to whether there were any
children in the family.
